Description

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to launch a NASA spacecraft with NASA's Rocket Science 101 (RS101)! Select your favorite NASA mission and build a rocket to send the spacecraft into orbit. As you take the RS101 challenge, you can learn more about thrilling missions and the various components of the launch vehicles, how they are configured and how they work together to successfully launch a NASA spacecraft. NASA's Launch Services Program (LSP) does the same things for real rockets and exciting spacecraft missions every day - now it's your turn!

Nothing to do plus learning👎🏻

Oct 8, 2015

Blah blah blah😛

All I do is nothing. All I do is pick one of the three for example if I pick the middle one, then it will show me a lot of different missions, then I choose a mission, then I pick a rocket, then I build it, then I click launch and it will launch... And all I get to do is click on parts for them to go away.....then I just watch it fly. And it looks like it wants to teach you stuff like why, I don't really like learning sometimes. So don't waste your time on this.😒😒😒👎🏻

This app isn't bad for people who are interested in pre rocket science. It would be. But it would be cool if you were to make an app for actual rocket science tutorials and 3d rocket building and launching. Like kerbal space program

Ok let's be clear, the game is not trash but consider it has not been updated since 2014 so don't criticize it. For the haters: SHUT UP AND GET A PROPER SIMULATOR
